Konjiki hototogisu here sells mainly Hamaguri clam and pork ramen. Pictured here is the tonkotsu smoke and pepper ramen with pepper flakes and edible smoked wood chips. First things first, I'm not a big fan of clear broth ramen because I prefer my ramen thick and rich. However, the smoked wood chips gave the ramen quite a unique taste that I've never had before. If you don't mix the chips around, the smoked taste might get quite overwhelming. I found myself slurping the soup down to the last drop in the end, but I wouldn't say that the ramen here is that outstanding. Despite what I think, many people seem to beg to differ based on how packed the small restaurant was on a simple weekday evening.

Fried Tofu with Bonito Flakes (2 pieces - $4.90 / 3 pieces - $6.90) is soft tofu coated with potato starch being deep fried, garnished with with bonito flakes and soya sauce poured and soaked over the deep-fried tofu and bonito flakes.I felt its was quite crispy on outside and also soft on inside for tofu when cutting into pieces and tofu dipped into soya sauce before eating. I do recommend to order fried tofu as side dish with the ramen when I go to any japan ramen shop or restaurant.

Shoyu Hamaguri Ramen ($14.90) is one of signature ramen at chjimes (flagship shop). Shoyu (Japanese Soya Sauce-Based) Hamaguri (Clam) Ramen have special ingredients such as Porcini Oil, Porcini Duxelles, Tartufata and White Truffle Oil for first tries of eating and got clam feel aftertaste after eating. They use clam / pork broth based and without putting msg inside the soup. I didn't eat so my mum & sister feedback that they feel that the soup was refreshing and not so thirsty after eating ramen anymore.

Clam Rice comes as free appetizer dish with every ramen ordered. The rice with clam taste quite sweet and intense. I felt that the rice was not warm when serving, some of rice stuck inside and hard to scoop on the small bowl.
